I wondered if this song was about erlend and by eirik. Leaving his partner to join erlend and needing time to adjust. Especially since this album followed a seven year hiatus. Erlend left the band to seek his own path, yearning for a ticket out. They have rejoined way down the line and eirik must find the motivation they had before having been out of the scene. I may be wrong but it seems like there is a slight feeling of having been together, parted, and then reunited with an expectation that everything will be the same.
